A staff member's life was more important than a road construction. Why did not BR organisation atleast partially pull out and negotiate for the young man's freedom? Rs.10 lakhs to family does not bring back the life. PM had assured that the man would be freed unharmed. Obviouisly no serious diplomatic efforts were taken. All concerned are answerable to God and to the poor family in Kerala. Now, what is Govt of India doing? Just watching the barbarism of Taliban? Obtain Afghan permission and invade Talibans and destroy them.
